Nina didn't understand, "What reaction do you need?" Nash's face grew even colder. He observed that Nina never reacted when any woman tried to seduce him. She didn't get angry or upset, not even shedding a tear. But this annoyed him greatly. She never felt jealous.
After a moment, Nina added, "I was surprised to see Sue act like that, but now I understand. She never likedand wanted to retaliate. I'm sorry for the trouble she's caused you." "Is that all?" Nash stared at her.
"Yes," she replied.
Nash's gaze turned icy, his voice low as he asked, "Nina, is it that no matter how many women are around me, it wouldn't bother you? You could just act like it's nothing." Nina walked in and replied, "Why would that be? Didn't I intervene when other women approached you before? As for Sue, you rejected her, so there's no need forto intervene." Nash remarked, "Isn't that your duty?" "It's indeed part of the job," Nina responded. "Including now." Nash pursed his lips, thinking she had changed her mind, but it turned out she was just doing her job as usual. Hmph.
Where was her commitment to being his wife? Nina glanced at Nash and noticed his unfavorable expression, figuring he was not in a good mood. She asked again, "Do you want stea to sober up?" She gestured towards the cup on the table. "There's one already here. Would you like to drink that one or mine?" Nash looked at the cup she held, realizing it was the tea she had brewed for him.

Feeling drowsy after drinking it, he lay down on the bed and dozed off for a while.

By now, Sue had returned and was crying even louder, burying her face in her arms on the table. "What's wrong, Sue? What's going on?" Lily saw her in such a sorry state. Sue just cried and didn't speak.
If only she had succeeded in seducing Nash, it would have been alright. But now, she failed miserably. It was embarrassing to even speak of it. However, Lily's mother saw through it and spoke first, "Can't you see? She failed." Lily looked at her mother, then at Sue, not understanding what was happening. Seeing Sue's appearance and thinking it over carefully, her expression turned ugly. "Sue, did you do something shameful? Who told you to do this?"
Sue choked out, "It's because Grandma said I'm useless, notas good as Nina. I wanted to prove myself to you!"
"I never said that! You're misunderstandingLily's mother denied. Lily's expression soured as she addressed her mother. "Mom, do you even see yourself as my mother anymore? You're constantly criticizing my marriage, belittling my daughter, and comparing us
